Liverpool striker RYAN BABEL encourage girls in South Asia to play football

Dear Girls,

Greetings from Liverpool!

I was pleasantly surprised when I heard that you girls are playing football in South Asia. These days the public is starting to get used to female players and learn about fantastically skilled players like Marta from Brazil.

What surprised me even more is that you also play football to fight for your rights. Watching your game on video and learning about how football changes your lives made me feel happy for you and for the sport I obviously love so much.

I appreciate the initiative Willem and Franz have taken to demonstrate the meaning of football for your future. Therefore, I support ‘My Game is Beautiful’ and wish for fantastic results.

I would like to encourage every one of you to keep on playing your beautiful game.

All the best,

Ryan Babel
